SKETCH OF A DUBLINER

Bearded bass boom
Slim lined
Short fused
Razor sharp

Centre stage
Holding forth
Centre bar
Toasting life

Purveyor of street ballad
Crafter of story line
Discipline of Zozimus
Flirting with fame

Imbiber of the black stuff
Epicentre of the craic
Master of retort
Outwitting the heckler

Jovial raconteur
Conjuring with words
Precision timing
Knockout punch line

Grumpy at morning
Barbed wire, vinegar
Convivial at evening
Rose without thorns

Champion of the underdog
Dethroning the haughty
Sounding uncomfortable truths
Uplifting the needy

Disenchanted
Weary of applause
Wary of patronage
Impatient for the wings

Distillation of the Liffey
Salt of the earth
Dublin personified
Ronnie Drew.

– John Sheahan
